BANISHMENT SCENE
SCENE III, A ROOM IN THE PALACE
(Enter Celia and Rosalind.)
Cel. Why, cousin; why Rosalind;—Cupid have mercy;—Not a word?
Ros. Not one to throw to a dog.
Cel. No, thy words are too precious to be cast away upon curs, throw some of them at me; come, lame me with reasons.
Ros. Then there were two cousins laid up; when the one should be lamed with reasons, and the other mad without any.
